Boat Salvage/Surplus OC or Even So. Cal. Area?

We're working on an older 17ft Bayrunner Baja. Trying to keep it on the inexpensive side. Other than Minney's in NB is there any other boat salvage or surplus business in the OC or even the So. Cal. area? And yes, I did search google so I may already have the answer but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.

Re: Line-X for boat hull?

Most of the Line-X i see in pickup beds will have an air bubble in it somewhere due to poor prep, if that happens in your boat you will have problems I believe. Hope some else will chime in. I've had Line-X on two trucks over the course of 17 years and never had a bubble, tear, or cut in either tru...

Re: Howdy - new (old) 17 ft Bayrunner

BTW - I forgot to mention. Back about 12 years ago I owned a 19ft Valco Bayrunner with a 50 hp Honda 4 stroke. Ended up selling it because we just didn't use it enough to justify it. Pretty close to what this boat is (2 ft smaller and 20 hp more on this one). Don't they say the definition of insanit...

Howdy - new (old) 17 ft Bayrunner

My son and I just picked up a 1985 Valco Bayrunner Baja with a 70 hp Johnson 2 stroke. Kind of a project because it's in kind of rough shape and needs some work but mainly to get the grandsons (2 and 4 years old) started fishing. I'll probably be asking a few questions as we go along here. Just want...
